Coherence Model

Our brand coherence is a model that explains how 66ºNorth articulates its message, look and feel depending on where the customer is in their journey. It is how we take the brand architecture and apply it to all our customer-facing productions.

  • Attract
  • Engage
  • Convert
  • Care

The model is composed of four sections that are designed to make customers feel different things. For example, "66ºNorth has a fascinating story" to "I can use these products, everywhere, every day."

The reason we map these messages to emotions is to build a consistent and coherent but flexible messaging and visual language from our stores in Iceland, wholesale to the website.

Our coherence to the model, visual identity and writing guidelines will enable us to manage and grow our reputation.
